Electric Lazy Susan Land

I did use a 6” lazy susan bearing instead of 12” . I’ll wait until the need comes up before I make another top. I went with a 10” top on an 8” base. The key is made from baltic birch plywood.

The motor I bought off ebay ( the cheapest) is rated to handle 40 lbs. The bearing at 500 lbs. Where do they get these numbers?

This piece of mesquite in my video is 7.5 lbs. It was kinda herky-jerky stop and go at first. I shortened the key on the disk sander, that took out most of it. I lubed it up good with 3 in 1 oil. I’m about 90 % happy with this. Maybe a bigger bearing would operate smoother. One good thing about the motor is that it is silent. I wish the cord was longer.

Checked load and rpm specs and these are high torque to handle the weight but low RPM, as in under 50rpm. At 1500 rpm anything you set on that table would fly off. It would be like putting the drill press at max speed and mixing paint. LOL
